The fierce peasant woman is busy farming

She thought that if he dared to knock on her door, she would wake up her two daughters and ask them to open the door for their father.

See who is more embarrassed.

Bah, you scumbag, go to hell.

Don't get close to me.

Zhou Yue listened carefully again and it seemed that Xuan Ge'er opened the door for his father. After thinking about it, he made sure that he had locked the door.

After a while, she fell into a deep sleep again.

Ning Yuan glared at his younger son who came to open the door with sleepy eyes.

He grumbled under his breath as he went in and fumbled around, trying to find a tinder to light the lamp.

But how would he know the layout of the house?

Soon he hit his head, which was a basket hanging from the rafters.

He cursed, and his eyes adjusted to the darkness. He turned around to look at Xuan Ge'er, who had fallen asleep on the kang again.

Ning Yuancai was so angry that he wanted to jump up and down, but he didn't dare to really jump up and down and curse.

In the afternoon, his father grabbed his collar and beat him up.

But I dare not bring bad luck again.

I don’t know how my dad has been paralyzed for so long, but he is still so strong.

Thinking back to when I was a kid, my second brother Ning Yuande was always the one who got beaten, and I was always the one who was praised.

As far as I can remember, I have never been beaten like this.

On the contrary, in the past few years since I passed the imperial examination and am almost a grandfather, I have been beaten by my father several times.

I got hit hard on the head and face several times today, and it still hurts when I touch it.

I don’t know if I can recover well when I return to the provincial capital. I hope Wang won’t find out.

Ning Yuancai lay down quietly next to his youngest son. Fortunately, the weather was not cold and he didn't need to cover himself with a blanket.

Smelling the sweaty odor of the child, feeling the coldness of the earthen bed beneath him, and the prickling of the wheat straw, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

This time he came back with a mission given by Wang.

Wang suddenly rekindled her love for him that day, and later it turned out that it was because Wang wanted to introduce an old man to her eldest daughter.

This is a good thing.

Especially in the past two years, Wang was very cold to him, and the two of them were together in a confused way without really getting married.

Ning Yuan began to worry that Wang would abandon him.

When he heard the man's conditions, he slapped his thigh.

Hurrah!

The man was 45 years old and his wife passed away last year.

He came from the prominent Wang family of Langya. He passed the examination for a scholar at the age of thirty-six and the imperial examination at the age of forty-four.

The family is rich, but the court is short of people and money.

Therefore, the imperial court came up with a solution that killed two birds with one stone: allowing candidates to buy official positions with money.

Not only did they obtain money to replenish the national treasury, but they also gathered talented people to fill vacancies in various places.

Of course, as to whether these recruited officials have real talents and knowledge, it is unknown.

Anyway, they have real wealth.

This Lord Wang was the one whose family paid to fill the vacancy for him after he passed the imperial examination.

He waited less than a year before he got his chance.

This year he will be assigned to the county where Zhou Yue and his colleagues are located to serve as the county magistrate.

This is a true parent official.

Although the man is older and is a second wife.

But she married an official and became his legal wife, and his family was so powerful.

When the time comes, just by flicking your finger, you can promote yourself a little.

He met the future county magistrate the next day.

He is a handsome man with a noble bearing, good looks and great authority.

Weng and son-in-law talked happily.

After all, they found that they were acquaintances of each other.

The year Ning Xiucai passed the imperial examination, he took the same exam with several of them, all of whom came from wealthy and powerful families.

Later, they all went to Beijing to study, and passed the imperial examinations one after another.

Among them was a man who was a fellow juren as Lord Wang.

If we round off and substitute the same amount, Mr. Ning and Mr. Wang can be considered to be in the same class.

That's even closer.

After chatting for less than an hour, the two of them had already become brothers and were eager to become sworn brothers on the spot.

Wang was calmer. She coughed lightly and reminded him, "You two are destined to be together. You are chatting so enthusiastically."

The two were surprised to realize that they had come to discuss marriage.

The 45-year-old county magistrate wanted to marry the 22-year-old eldest daughter of the 38-year-old scholar as his second wife.

Fortunately, the clever Wang reminded them, otherwise if they really became sworn brothers, it would have been a big joke.

The two of them quickly calmed down and discussed the details.

Lord Wang straightened his face and said, "Brother Ning, oh, no, Uncle Ning, Mr. Ning, thanks to Sister Xiang for reminding me, otherwise I would have forgotten the important matter."

Ning Xiucai still valued his reputation, so he said awkwardly, "Yes."

Lord Wang glanced at Mr. Ning, exchanged glances with his distant cousin Wang Xiang, and continued:

"Although Xiangmei is the guarantor, she has never met your daughter in person.

I think it is better to be cautious when it comes to such an important matter as marriage.

Mr. Ning, can you arrange a meeting for me?"

Ning Yuan was stunned. Wang Xiang had never mentioned this before.

He didn't know how to answer it.

As the boy's father, he should have been more reserved and less proactive.

But, but he is the official in charge.

Find such a good in-law family for my daughter, so that she can marry into such a wealthy family and enjoy the endless wealth.

What a great opportunity this is.

Can't miss it.

Fortunately, I knew Wang, which allowed me to get there first.

Otherwise, if other families in Yi County knew about this, the Wang family’s door would be trampled down.

Thinking of this, Ning Yuan immediately bowed and said, "It's up to Lord Wang to arrange."

Wang Congbai and Wang Xiang exchanged glances again, their eyes full of smiles.

Get promoted, get rich, but die your wife.

He experienced all three great joys of a man.

Seeing how good-looking Mr. Ning is, his daughter must be pretty good too.

However, Mr. Ning came from a rural family and got married early, so who knows if his first wife had a face like a she-demon?

When I got married, I also followed the advice of my elders to marry a virtuous wife and a beautiful concubine.

My first wife was ugly and had a bad temper.

Fortunately, she died suddenly after she passed the imperial examination.

This time when he gets married, he will definitely look for her in person, make the decision himself, and marry a beautiful wife.

When the time comes, when you take him out for official social events, it will be a great honor to have him there.

The three chatted for a while and finally agreed that Ning Xiucai would go back to his hometown first to discuss it with his family.

Then he brought his eldest daughter to the provincial capital and stayed at Wang Xiang's house. He found an excuse to invite Lord Wang, who was living in Yizhou City, to visit Wang Xiang's house.

The two of them can meet each other.

Wang Congbai and Wang Xiang were both very proud and were waiting for good news in the provincial capital.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Ning encountered a problem here.

When he got home and told everyone about this, everyone opposed it.

Even Qian, whom he thought would agree immediately, did not stand on his side.

He didn't understand, he really didn't understand. It was such a good marriage, and it was hard to find a good son-in-law even with a lantern.

Why don't they agree?

His little walnut-sized head just couldn't figure out the reason.

In fact, he didn't know that this had nothing to do with knowledge or experience.

It has to do with human nature and morality.

Even Ning Laoer's wife, Sun, who heard about this, curled her lips and did not think this was a good marriage.

Mrs. Sun is lazy by nature and likes to spread gossip. What knowledge can she have?

This bunch of uncouth country men and women are so short-sighted that they don't know how to look at people and things from a long-term perspective.
